Titans LG Steve Hutchinson will announce his retirement on Tuesday.

Hutchinson, 35, was the premier guard in the NFL in the mid-to-late-2000s, but his play tailed off last season as he battled a knee injury. Hutchinson was set to count $6.75 million against the cap and was going to be released. A legit Hall of Fame candidate, Hutchinson was a seven-time Pro Bowler and seven-time All-Pro. In league circles, Hutchinson might best be known for the "poison pill" contract he signed with the Vikings in 2006. His retirement paves the way for the Titans to go hard after free agent Andy Levitre. Mon, Mar 11, 2013 10:18:00 PM

Coach Mike Munchak hinted Hutchinson was considering retirement at his season-ending presser, but that's apparently not the case. "(Hutchinson) has been working out really hard," Hasselbeck said. "He looks really good to me." Although it appears Hutchinson is planning to play in 2013, the Nashville Tennessean believes he could still end up a cap casualty. Hutchinson is due $5 million between salary and bonuses. Wed, Feb 6, 2013 04:48:00 PM

Hutchinson is due a $4.5 million base salary and a $500,000 roster bonus in the second year of a three-year deal. After landing on injured reserve with a right knee injury in early December, Hutchinson is said to be also considering retirement. The Titans are expected to overhaul their interior line for 2013.

Titans placed LG Steve Hutchinson on injured reserve with a right knee injury, ending his season.

He's undergoing surgery on Thursday. Hutchinson, who had yet to miss a start this season, is the fourth Titans' starting offensive lineman to be sent to injured reserve. Only LT Michael Roos is still standing. However, this is the third straight December Hutchinson has landed on I.R. One month removed from his 35th birthday, Hutchinson is signed through 2014. Hutchinson graded out as just the league's 52nd best guard in Pro Football Focus' rankings, but it's still bad news for the Titans' run game since it further decimates their line depth.
